In this work, different Bi 2 S 3 nanostructures were prepared from various single and dual sulfide precursors via a solvothermal method. It was found that Bi 2 S 3 nanostructures prepared from dual sulfur precursors of L -cysteine and ammonium sulfide exhibited highest Cr(VI) removal ability with maximum Cr(VI) removal capacity of 148.95 mg/g in Cr(VI) solution (pH = 2). More importantly, the removal capacity strikingly increased to 223.33 and 240.25 mg/g in two kinds of actual industrial electroplating wastewater. By analyzing the components of actual electroplating wastewater and the results of control experiments in the absence and presence of different ions in Cr(VI) solution, it was found that SO 4 2- played a critical role in the Cr(VI) removal over Bi 2 S 3 . The addition of SO 4 2- could promote the conversion of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) on the surface of Bi 2 S 3 , thus leading to the enhanced Cr(VI) removal ability in actual electroplating wastewater. The Bi 2 S 3 maintained its original Cr(VI) removal ability after four cycles in the electroplating wastewater, indicating the moderate reuse ability of the sample. This work not only demonstrated an highly efficient nanomaterials for the Cr(VI) removal in industrial electroplating wastewater, but also provided an insight on the influence of the components in wastewater on Cr(VI) removal.

A novel and cost-effective TiO 2 nanofiber membrane on porous fly ash ceramic as support (TNM-PFACS), using fly ash, graphite, and industrial rutile as raw materials, was successfully obtained based on the semi-dry press and hydrothermal process. The phase composition and micro-morphology of TNM-PFACS were characterized and analyzed by XRD, EDS, SEM, and TEM. Furthermore, it was discussed about simultaneous removal of heavy metal ions (Cu(II), Cd(II), and Cr(VI)) and rhodamine B, involving the adsorption and photodegradation process. The results indicated that the removal rate (90.15%) and adsorption capacity (9.56 mg/g) of Cu(II) was maintained, while the adsorption of Cd (II) was inhibited. In the photodegradation process, rhodamine B promoted the reduction of highly toxic Cr(VI) to Cr(III), and the highest removal rate of Cr(VI) reached 97.09%. TNM-PFACS presented simultaneous removal of heavy metal ions and rhodamine B through synergism and antagonism in the adsorption and photodegradation process, which can be applied as a simpler and cost-effective material in industrial wastewater treatment.

Accurate, simple and quick detection methods for Cr(VI) detection are urgently needed for water quality monitoring. Herein, a novel and facile method of detecting Cr(VI) (Cr 2 O 7 2− /CrO 4 2− ) ions is developed via the fluorescent detection technology based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) doped with sulfur quantum dots (SQDs) (SQDs@UiO-66-NH 2 ). The blue-light-emitting SQDs@UiO-66-NH 2 composites exhibit excellent fluorescent properties in water environment with high quantum yield (68%) and ideal fluorescent stability, thus demonstrating excellent potential for serving as a chemical sensor. After characterizing the performance and stability of SQDs@UiO-66-NH 2 , qualitative and quantitative detection of Cr 2 O 7 2− and CrO 4 2− ions was successfully conducted. The fluorescence of SQDs@UiO-66-NH 2 composites in aqueous solution was quenched effectively with more than 90% quenching efficiency by Cr(VI) via the inner filter effect. The detection system provides considerable advantages such as rapid response (10 s), high sensitivity with a low detection limit of 0.16 μM in a broad linear range of 0–200 μM (R 2 = 0.99) for Cr 2 O 7 2− and 0.17 μM for CrO 4 2− in a broad linear range of 0–220 μM (R 2 = 0.99), high selectivity and reproducibility for at least five cycles with simple washing with alcohol. In practical applications, the sensor showed rapid response, high sensitivity and excellent recoveries (96.7%–105.4%) for detecting Cr 2 O 7 2− in real water samples. Furthermore, a SQDs@UiO-66-NH 2 -based fluorescent test paper was successfully developed, providing a simple, reliable and portable method for Cr(VI) (Cr 2 O 7 2− /CrO 4 2− ) detection in water environment.

The developing high-efficiency urea fuel cells have an irreplaceable role in solving the increasingly severe environmental crisis and energy shortages. The sluggish six-electron dynamic anodic oxidation reaction is the bottleneck of the rapid progress of urea fuel-cell technology. To tackle this challenge, we select the NiCr bimetallic system due to the unique synergic effect between the Ni and the Cr. Moreover, better conductivity is assured using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as the support. Most importantly, we use a simple hydrothermal method in catalyst preparation for easy scale-up at a low cost. The results show that the hybrid catalysts of NiCrx-oxide-CNTs with different Ni/Cr ratios show much better catalytic performance in terms of active surface area and current density as compared to that of Ni-hydro-CNTs. The optimized NiCr2-oxide-CNTs catalyst exhibits not only the largest electrochemically active surface area (ESA, 50.7 m2 g−1) and the highest urea electrocatalytic current density (115.6 mA cm−2), but also outstanding long-term stability. The prominent performance of the NiCr2-oxide-CNTs catalyst is due to the combined effect of the improved charge transfer between Ni and Cr species, the large ESA, along with an elegant balance between the oxygen-defect sites and hydrophilicity. Moreover, we have proposed a synergistically enhanced urea catalytic mechanism.

The pollution of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in soil is a serious environmental issue. Herein, nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) supported on rice husk-derived biochar (RBC) was employed as an efficient remediation material to minimize the harm of Cr(VI) in soil. A one-step carbothermal reduction method was used instead of the conventional wet chemistry method for material preparation in this study. Rice husk, an agricultural waste, was adopted as the carbon source (reductant) and support for nanometal synthesis simultaneously, so that the NZVI could be in-situ generated on the acquired biochar during the pyrolysis process. By pyrolyzing at 800 °C, the obtained biochar-supported nanoscale zerovalent iron (NZVI-RBC) exhibited high thermal stability and oxidation resistance. In the treatment of contaminated soil, the Cr(VI) no longer leached out from the soil after a complete removal of Cr(VI) (62.4 mg/L) from soil leachate in 120 min when the used NZVI-RBC dosage was above 8% of the soil in weight. This long-term remediation effect of NZVI-RBC may be related to the electron shuttle function of biochar. Furthermore, the bioavailability of Cr in the contaminated soil was significantly decreased. The present study provided a simple, feasible, and sustainable alternative to make full use of the agricultural waste resource to synthesize composite remediation agent containing NZVI and remediate Cr(VI) contaminated groundwater and soil.

Antibiotics are a group of antibacterial drugs used in the treatment and prevention of bacterial diseases in humans, veterinary animals, and farmed fish. Inappropriate and excessive use of antibiotic therapy leads to antibiotic fragment in the water bodies thus affect the aquatic organisms . In this study, an amino group modified high surface area metal-organic framework (MOF) MIL-101(Cr)-NH 2 was used to prepare solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber to detect four different classes (total 6 ABs) of antibiotics for the first time from living tilapia fish ( Oreochromis mossambicus) by coupling SPME with high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The extraction efficiencies of the custom-made fiber were superior as compared with the commercial C18, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), PDMS/divinylbenzene (DVB) and polyacrylate fibers. The custom-made fiber also exhibited excellent reproducibility with the low intra-fiber relative standard deviations (RSDs 1.5%–8.3%) and inter-fiber RSDs (7.3%–14.5%), which made it ideal for in vivo extraction in fish muscle. The as-prepared MIL-101(Cr)-NH 2 fiber was then used to determine antibiotics in the dorsal-epaxial muscle of living fish. Comparing to the traditional solid-liquid extraction (SLE) method, the SPME method showed reduced invasiveness and higher sensitivity than the SLE method. In general, this study explored a convenient, cost-effective and highly sensitive SPME method based on amino modified MOF for in vivo antibiotic detection in fish muscle.

The surface defects of adsorbents are generally considered to be the active sites for adsorbates, and the adsorption behaviors of a variety of pollutants in wastewater are strongly influenced by the surface defects of the adsorbents. With simple chemical and structural properties, nano-Mg(OH)2 exhibits a high adsorption affinity and selectivity to heavy metals from wastewater. The insight into the surface complex structures of heavy metals on the Mg(OH)2 surface is fundamental for both the mechanism and application of defective adsorbents in wastewater treatment. In this study, the impact of surface defects of Mg(OH)2 nanoplates on the structure, energy, and adsorption amounts of toxic heavy metal oxyanions (HAsO42− and CrO42−) was investigated by combining the first-principles calculations and batch experiments. The first-principles calculations illustrated that the heavy metal oxyanions can be steadily incorporated into the surface defects to form inner-sphere complexes. The incorporated heavy metal oxyanions have strong charge–charge and chemical bonding interactions with the surface defect sites, which are much stronger than the hydrogen bonding interactions with the surface OH sites. Moreover, the adsorption affinity of surface defects towards heavy metal oxyanions is stronger than that towards other oxyanions (e.g. SO42− and NO3−), indicating the high adsorption selectivity of heavy metal oxyanions over other oxyanions. Batch adsorption experiments verified that the adsorption of defect-rich Mg(OH)2 adsorbents towards heavy metal ions, e.g., As(V) and Cr(VI), was favorable even under the condition of low concentration (mg L−1 level). These findings reveal the significance of surface defects of Mg(OH)2 for extracting As(V) and Cr(VI) from low-concentration solutions. The proposed strategy of surface defect-fabrication should provide a useful insight into designing effective adsorbents for the selective extraction of heavy metal oxyanions at low concentration.

Uniform well-defined nanostructured BiOBr microspheres have been fabricated via a simple hydrothermal method in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and ethylene glycol (EG). The heavy metal ion adsorption on the as-synthesized nanostructured BiOBr microspheres was systematically assessed by measuring the residual concentration during the adsorption process using a colorimetric method for Cr(VI) concentration, and an extraction-colorimetric method for Cd(II) and Pb(II) concentrations. The nanostructured BiOBr microspheres showed good removal capacity for heavy metal ions (Cr, Cd, Pb), and excellent adsorption properties for low concentration heavy metal ions, indicating potential applications in water purification. Based on the quick and efficient heavy metal ion removal ability of nanostructured BiOBr microspheres, a continuous filtering-type water purification device was designed and constructed. In using this continuous filtering type water purification device, 1 g of adsorbent can purify about 4900 g of Pb(II) contaminated water, 5900 g of Cd(II) contaminated water, or 21 500 g of Cr(VI) contaminated water having initial concentrations of 200 μg L−1 to successfully attain the World Health Organization standard for drinking water. The good removal capacity can be attributed to the hierarchical nanostructure, which displays a large specific surface area and strong adsorption of heavy metal ions.

Efficient separation and transfer of photogenerated electron/hole as well as enhanced visible light absorption play essential roles in photocatalytic reactions. To promote the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI), a toxic heavy metal ion, multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was introduced as an electron acceptor into NH 2 -MIL-68(In). This led to the growth of a willow leaf-like metal-organic framework (MOF) on an MWCNT backbone forming MWCNT/NH 2 -MIL-68(In) (PL-1), which showed a highly efficient transfer of photogenerated carriers. Moreover, MWCNT incorporation introduced more mesopores for Cr(VI) diffusion and enhanced the visible light adsorption without lowering the conduction band position. As a result, the photocatalytic kinetic constant of PL-1 was found to be almost three times higher than that of the parent NH 2 -MIL-68(In). Thus, growing MOFs on MWCNTs provides a facile and promising solution for effective remediation of environmental pollution by utilizing solar energy. This work provides the first example of using MWCNT/MOF composites for photocatalytic reactions.

A general ionic-assisted microwave-ultrasonic combined synthetic strategy was developed to fabricate Bi 2 E 3 (E = S, Se, and Te) hierarchitectures. To understand the crystal phase transformation and morphological evolution of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchical nanostructures, the fabrication of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures was investigated by varying sulfidation time and chlorination time. A topotactic transformation from BiOCl microsphere to Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures was proposed. It was found that the structure, size, and morphology of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures could be delicately engineered by varying chlorination time, alkyl chain length, and concentration of ionic liquid. Moreover, the as-prepared Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures displayed superior capacity of Cr(VI) photoreduction to P25 and irregular Bi 2 S 3 nanostructures under visible light irradiation. Effects of morphology, pH value of reaction system, Cr(VI) concentration, and catalyst dosage on the Cr(VI) photoreduction capacity of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures were also discussed. The enhancement of photoreduction capacity is not only attributed to the intrinsic good electron transfer ability of Bi 2 S 3 , but also to synergetic effects of special architectures, wide photoresponse range, high light photoadsorption, high BET surface area and good electron-hole separation performance. The systematic condition experiments and Cr(VI) photoreduction in electroplating and tannery wastewater experiments further demonstrated that the hierarchical Bi 2 S 3 nanospheres can be used in the actual Cr(VI)-containing wastewater treatment.

Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) has been widely employed for the elimination of heavy metals from wastewater. However, the practical application of nZVI is greatly limited due to its fast aggregation and surface passivation. In this study, a carbon nanotube-supported nZVI composite (nZVI@CNTs) was synthesized and coupled with Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 to enhance the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous media. The results demonstrated that the coupling of nZVI@CNTs and MR-1 (nZVI@CNTs/MR-1) exhibited superior performance in eliminating Cr(VI) compared to using nZVI@CNTs or MR-1 alone. Electrochemical characterization demonstrated that CNTs acting as electron shuttles improve the electron transfer from MR-1 to nZVI, thus facilitating the passivation layer dissolution. XRD analysis proved that MR-1 can effectively promote the dissolution of the Fe(III) passivation layer with the existence of CNTs. FTIR and XPS analyses confirmed that CNTs contain many functional groups (such as C − C and C = O) related to extracellular electron transfer, thus promoting the electron transfer of MR-1 to nZVI. Three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3D-EEM) analysis showed that the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) generated from MR-1 participated in the Cr(VI) elimination. The mechanism analysis demonstrated the Fe(II) dissolved from the nZVI passivation layer reduces Cr(VI) to Cr(III) and then removes it by co-precipitation, and the EPS secreted by MR-1 also participates in the Cr(VI) adsorption and reduction. Generally, the coupling of nZVI@CNTs and MR-1 successfully addresses the drawbacks of nZVI and demonstrates a remarkable ability to remove Cr(VI).

With environmental issues gaining increasing attention, the demand for developing economical and reusable catalysts has become increasingly critical. Although precious metal catalysts are effective in photocatalytic pollutant decomposition and Cr(VI) reduction, their high price, instability, and recovery difficulty constrain their application. This study introduces an approach where Ag + ions are exchanged with cations in polyoxometalate (POM) via a mild grinding method, followed by in situ illumination under ultraviolet light to produce Ag/Ag-POM composite nanomaterials. Upon interaction with POM clusters, Ag + ions are reduced to Ag nanoparticles, which enhances visible light absorption in the composite, thereby improving its photocatalytic efficiency. Ag/Ag-POM nanomaterials obtained from this process exhibit efficient and stable catalytic performance, efficiently degrading tetracycline (TC) and reducing hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) under visible light (λ > 420 nm). Especially, the Ag/AgHPMo 11 V composite demonstrated superior catalytic performance, achieving degradation efficiencies of 99.9% for 40 mg·L −1 TC. Moreover, it also exhibited efficient photoreduction of Cr(VI), achieving a reduction rate of 62.81% for 80 mg·L −1 Cr(VI) in a 100 mL solution using just 10 mg of the catalyst within 40 min of visible-light exposure. This research highlights the potential of polyoxometalate-based catalysts in the photocatalytic treatment of pollutants.
